Today's Quote

"As the Commission embarks on another review of its media ownership rules, our challenge is to ensure that these rules take into account the competitive realities facing newspapers and broadcasters while ensuring that localism and diversity are promoted. The public needs to understand both the value that (news)papers offer and the struggles (they) face in continuing to provide news in an increasingly competitive media marketplace. Indeed, the failure of the Commission to modify our rules is not our fault alone. The public has not been convinced of the need for change."
-- FCC Chairman Kevin Martin
